Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 it will be the thermostat housing mate - a common place for them to leak from and luckily a relatively cheap and easy fix mate Link to post Share on other sites

Coyney26 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 took it apart and found it was the rad! Tiny hole blowing coolant into fans, changed it and fan belt and now she running sweet as a nut! If your rad goes you can do yourself, slide it out from the bottom,we didnt even have to disconnect the air con! Happy days Link to post Share on other sites
